The way I understand it the scores at StoriesOnline now have two types. One
is called a TPA and the other is a Qscore. Neither of them are strictly
averages. I think the TPA is three different scores for different things and
the Qscore is a sort of average that is statistically manipulated. There is
also the option now of opting out of scoring. That's the one I like the most
and it's what I do.
